Yesterday I was driving away from Eastbourne around the bays. A van pulled out in front of me from the local garage. It was a bit tight but no big deal. And at least it didn't then dribble along at 50kmph (like so many) when the speed limit is 70kmph. Before entering Lowry Bay however, where the speed limit drops from 70 to 50 kmph, it pulled out with no indication, crossed double yellow lines to overtake not just the car in front of it but the small truck in front of that. Neither of those vehicles was going under the speed limit and there was a vehicle approaching from the north. It was sheer bloodymindedness.
I had noticed the business van's e-mail address and registration plate "we c8tr" so later googled it. Sure enough. Eastbourne-based. This is from their website.
We have been actively implementing sustainability strategies for some time, from utilizing cost efficient, low energy appliances, lighting & natural ventilation, to working towards more fuel efficient deliveries.
I suppose not using one's brake and accelerator or indicators could be considered, "Working towards more fuel efficient deliveries."
It's a common quirk of people who claim to care about the environment that they care little for those who share it.

Similar to those clapped-out shitboxes spewing black smoke that had a Greenpeace sticker on the back!
I think Greenpeace stopped selling bumper stickers because of this little embarrassment!
